Describe the bug
When uploading .shp files to CEA with entirely new building footprints for an area (e.g. in a redevelopment scenario), the surroundings helper would include all buildings that don't precisely match the uploaded footprints. This can easily lead to overlaps of uploaded buildings with existing buildings. A behaviour that is likely unexpected for many users.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Create new Scenario and select "Import input files"
Upload a .shp file with building-footprints that differ from the existing buildings in the area
Run surroundings helper
See error in Input Editor
Expected behaviour
I think the easiest workaround here would be to change the checks in 'surroundings helper' to eliminate buildings that partially overlap with selected buildings in the area.
